WHY GREEN?
Our vehicles consist of two Toyota Prius Plug-ins and two Nissan Leaf electric vehicles, which will travel 150 miles on a charge. The Prius Plug-ins travel 11 miles on electricity alone, and averaged 53.7 miles per gallon over the past year. We estimate our annual gasoline savings to be 1,218 gallons, which can be considered a reduction of CO2 emissions by 23,922 pounds.
